A number of things that are written for 9.1 or earlier won't compile on 9.2 and the reason is pretty straight forward. Updated libs. 2.3 python is causing fun for a number of people (in this case compiling against it like with superkaramba) This isn't MDK's fault. Talk to the creators of the lib. It's especially fun when an older program is written against a library that has since been deprecated and removed. Heck I'm still repairing my wifes winders box after she tried to run Reader Rabbit on it. Not a pretty site. (it was written for 3.1/dos) Here at least you can dig into the code and advance it.
